Did they weigh you on surgery day?

[Jachut 487]

I've been weighed before every surgery I ever had - so they can get the anaesthetic right. I'd be worried if I'd gained 10 or 20lb pre surgery, but 3lb is nothing, its a daily fluctuation. Chill!

Yup, I was weighed butt naked in my cute hospital gown just prior having the IV inserted. I went for my 2 week post-op and that is what they consider my "beginning weight". Down 17# in two weeks - have not had a lick of trouble. First fill is the 27th. :whoo:

I'm not sure if they did or not. At first I thought that they haden't because I was not taken to a scale but the next day the nurse came into my room and was playing with the controls on my bed and told me my weight. Now pre- op a nurse was playing with the controls on my bed, so i imagine she got my weight and just never told me. Sorry that was long and drawn out.

Yes, they weighed me the day of my surgery.

yes, I was weighed before surgery- I also asked them to weigh me after to see if I had gained any weight due to the anasthesia and meds but no, I weighed exactly the same.

I was weighed preop and was up 6 pounds from my consultation appointment weight...no one said anything

Yes I have been weighed before every surgery in order to get anaesthetic dose right. I was on a pre op diet, as the doc wanted the liver to shrink a little. I suspect it was also some sort of a test to see if I could stick to the post op diet of liquid for 14 days. Yes go ahead and do the math, I was on liquid diet for 14 days, then a one day fast pre op, then 14 days of liquids post op. 29 days without actual food !!

I was weighed pre-op and BMI was calculated again. I think the concern was more on being w/in the BMI limits (not too low). Let us know how it goes.
